“We like to build every recruiting class with signing top-notch incoming freshmen and feel we have accomplished that with these four additions,” said Coach Patrick Smith, “Drake is just an exceptional athlete who plays with relentless effort and obviously has just been a winner as evidenced by two straight State Championships. Sullivan is a true knock down shooter who brings great length and just all around scoring ability to our program. Perry is a truly tremendous rebounder who also is a very capable shooter and ballhandler, just tremendous potential. Sharp is a true “Stat Stuffer” who has a very good all around game, proven winner and can play either guard spot. All four of these young men bring the attitude and effort we expect and that is evidenced by how they lead their high school teams to very successful season.”
